Well I must read this book for English class, as it is our class book. It is called The House of the Spirits.
The book is creeping me out (I'll copy them from Sparknotes so no one says I'm exagerting):
Chapter one:
At one point during the service, Clara, the youngest of the del Valle children, asks Father Restrepo, out loud, "If that story about hell is a lie, we're all fu****, aren't we.... " Father Restrepo then accuses Clara of being possessed by the devil, and the del Valle family leave church in a hurry.
I removed out the curse. In the book they actually have it.
Later on, Chapter 2: Rosa, a woman, dies and the doctor who does autopsy on her molests her dead body. He tocuhes ait and smells it...etc...and the details int eh book are so disgusting...
Also
What the heck is wrong with this book. And the DETAILS are sooo disturbing. They actually describe it.
Thank God I am just reading detail-free Sparknotes and not the actual book
But according to my teacher, the book actually describes the rapes O_o

Also
As soon as he has spare time on his hands, Esteban Trueba realizes that he has an enormous sexual appetite. He rapes a young virgin peasant girl, Pancha Garcia, whom he brings to live in the main house as his housekeeper and mistress. Through his relationship with Pancha, Esteban becomes interested in the peasants. He constructs a schoolhouse and makes plans to increase the quality of life for the peasants, although he in no way wants them to become his equals. Esteban also sets up a voucher system, where he pays the peasants by means of vouchers that he also accepts from them as payment at the store he sets up on the property.
Pancha becomes pregnant, and Esteban loses interest in her. She leaves the main house, and Esteban begins raping other peasant girls.
